| Title | : | Corporate Board Structure And Listed Firm Performance In Nigeria |
| Country | : | Malaysia |
| Authors | : | Ajayi Oziomobo Dada || Zahiruddin B. Ghazali |
Abstract:This study is designed to identify and advocate for optimal corporate governance (CG) mechanisms
that will enhance listed firm performance in Nigeria using conceptualized methodology. Research has been
ongoing concerning the issues of (GC) mechanisms as it affects listed firm performance in Nigeria. Findings
revealed that good CG mechanisms exhibit strong positive relationship with the firm's operational and financial
performances. CG is gradually evolving in Nigeria, though at a slow speed due to her peculiar business
environment, culture, politics, regulations and historical roots. The need for an appropriate board structure is
gaining the spotlight among corporate regulators and business owners especially after the near collapse of the
capital market in 2011 which led to enactment of numbers of CG codes and standard of corporate best practices
with emphasis on accountability, reporting standard and information disclosure to ensure that management
actions are geared towards sustainable growth of the firm.

| Authors | : | Bindu P. K. |
Abstract: The banking sector is in a transactional mode towards a vibrant global market and sophisticated information technology. Due to this changing scenario banks are paying more attention to expand their activities from just lending and borrowing to other ends like insurance, merchant banking, leasing, electronic banking and so forth. Plastic card is the form of currency of choice in the consumerist society that the world today is. The credit card industry's roots go back to the 1950's when Diners Club and American Express launched their charge cards in the U.S. Today, perhaps barring the icy-polar caps, cards are all pervasive and have gained popularity as an important "payment mechanism". The potential for the plastic card is best reflected in the fact that close to18% of the personal expenditure globally now goes through this method, as against a measly 0.5% in India. This study was conducted to know about the different types of plastic money and to evaluate relationship between the educational background and users of plastic money.

Abstract: There are many rural institutes in India awarding degrees in rural management or rural development but just two rural universities operating in rural higher education: 1) Gandhigram Rural Institute at Dindigul and 2) Mahatma Gandhi ChitrakootGramodayaVishwavidhyalaya at Satna. Even the Ministry of Human Resources Development fails to elaborate on the concept of rural university, it has mentioned National Council of Rural Institutes as a monitoring agency over rural institutes of higher learning which consider rural structure of higher education as that which can make ultimate difference in the lifestyle and living of the rural population.
